Disabling System Integrity Protection from guest El Capitan under VirtualBox 5

https://anadoxin.org/blog/disabling-system-integrity-protection-from-guest-el-capitan-under-virtualbox-5.html

One well known issue of running a guest MacOS X under VirtualBox is that it'snot possible to enter Recovery OS by pressing the Command+R key combination onVM startup. In fact after reading some bug reports on VirtualBox bugtracker itseems that it's not possible to enter Recovery OS at all.

Fortunately, we don't even need Recovery OS to disable System IntegrityProtection. We can use the Installer environment to run csrutil tool. SIP'sconfiguration is stored inside NVRAM, so it actually doesn't matter whatapproach we will take, as long as we will put some magic values into magicvariables inside NVRAM. Please be advised that while this method works, it willwork until the shutdown of your VM. You can do soft restarts, but if you'll shutdown the VM and boot it up again, you will need to disable SIP again.
